The Documentary Film Greener Pastures captures the day-to-day lives of four small, Midwestern, multi-generational family farms over four years. Through an intimate, observational lens we examine the various farm stressors, policies, and politics farmers and their families must maneuver to survive. The film connects the dots between mental health, industrialization, food production, and climate change. It is a story of perseverance, patience, and determination that tackles nothing less than the future of farming in the heartland of America.
